Salisu, Semenyo score as Otto Addo’s Black Stars outclass Switzerland

Ghana’s Black Stars earned a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Switzerland in a pre-World Cup friendly on Thursday morning.

Second-half goals from Mohammed Salisu and Antoine Semenyo gave the Black Stars a well-deserved victory in their final match before the World Cup kicks off on November 20.

The Black Stars largely dominated the game at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu-Dhabi but had to wait until the 70th minute to make that dominance count.

The Swiss failed to deal with a corner by substitute Daniel-Kofi Kyereh allowing Mohammed Salisu to loop a header past Yann Sommer.

Otto Addo’s side doubled their lead just four minutes later after Kamaldeen Sulemana’s run caused some carnage in the Swiss box.

The ball eventually broke to Antoine Semenyo, who found the net.
